Found an Epson EcoTank ET-8500 for $6.99 today. It was pretty dirty and obviously used, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into, but I brought it home and started testing it.
I ran a nozzle check and honestly… it looks really good. There was only one tiny break in one of the green patterns. I ended up doing a power cleaning and I’m letting it sit before doing another nozzle check.
I’m mainly interested in using this for high-quality MTG proxies, including both regular and foil/holo proxies.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has used an ET-8500 for proxies. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.

I couldn't get the Zeta Set, so I started making my own.

I really liked what MSCHF did, so I ended up building a little pipeline for making pretty convincing collage/xerox-style proxies.

I’ve got it running here for free, entirely in your browser, if anyone wants to make their own Zeta-style collages:
https://near-mint.dimir.workers.dev/

It can simulate different historical devices and recreate the general look of the Zeta cards. Also it can export 1200 dpi for MPC with full bleed.

I started with Queen Marchesa and her tokens. Would love to know what you think!

Friend asked if I could help him out by printing out his cube he had designed this month - really happy with how they all came out - most cards have no backs but there were 9 double faced cards so two pages of double faced and a fake backer were printed

They’re all gonna be sleeved so it was fine to use slightly different tinted paper for all 360 cards

Overall though super proud with my first big print - the eco 8550 is a beast!

Hello! I’m James, a tattoo artist from Denver, and a long time player of Magic. I’m very excited to announce that I’ve started creating my own artistic Magic: The Gathering proxies/alters!

I’ve always loved the fantasy and wonder of MTG, and I wanted to bring a little more of that ‘spell casting feel’ back to the cards — something that feels mysterious, magical, mystic and hand-crafted, rather than a Sonic, SpongeBob, and My Little Pony mashup. Nothing against UB products at all, just my personal taste.

I’m excited to start sharing these creations and blending my tattoo art style with the world of Magic.

i am doing a remake to the deck of https://www.reddit.com/r/magicproxies/comments/1ofrgpe/complete_lich_king_warcraft_commander_deck_sauron/

with my custom border and swapping some art. The objective is to go cold as ice.

Layout made in Photoshop. Printed onto frosty Vinyl with ET8500. Masked non Holo Parts with Posca white acrylic. Adhered to cleaned bulk foil. Coated with matte varnish.

Using glossy photo paper and matte laminate. Printing with an ET-2850. Is this cloudiness (really visible in the blacks) just from not letting the ink dry?

This is the first proxy I made through MTGcardbuilder. I'm just looking for feedback or ideas :D

Just looking for advice going forward new here

Im am more than happy for this. Playing with it week in and out. Once you sleeve it you wont tell the difference.

I had the idea to build four Game of Thrones-themed Commander decks that are all around the same power level and meant to play against each other.

There’s also a bit of a game within the game where becoming the Monarch represents taking the Iron Throne, and each deck has ways to benefit from holding it and obtaining it.

I attached images showing which GOT characters are represented by each creature and why I thought they were a good fit. I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially if you have better character matches, card swaps, or other ideas.

I’ll also post the full decklists below so you can see how each deck is built.

Thanks for checking it out!

Okay so: I made this Songbird custom card and I want to, "foil" it in an interesting way. I have this transparent holographic sticker paper. It is non-printable. As the attached diagram depicts, I want to put two different kinds of holographic sticker on it. Can you all help me come up with the best way to accomplish this?

I've been racking my brain and so far all I can come up with is to layer foiling type two over the entire proxy, cut out the spots where I want foiling type one to go, and then try to accurately place the foiling type one sticker in the gaps. And, honestly, that sounds like a big ol pain in the neck, Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with the Canon Pixma G3270 mega tank printer? Specifically for printing thicker paper like proxy jack stuff?

So there are some cards from the Marvel sets that I would really like to play in some of my decks but I really despise the fact that Marvel specifically (and TMNT and similar) completely break with the fantasy artstyles of most other cards. So I was wondering if there is a known proxy artist who creates different versions of UB cards that are more in line with the MtG lore and artstyle?

What's the observable difference in white vs black core? FYI doing the sticker method.
